BARTON HILLS MAINTENANCE

Barton Hills Maintenance Corporation was created in March 1922 to provide maintenance services, manage lot sales and establish governing structure. In 1925 the Olmsteds sketched out an extension of the community all the way to Foster Bridge but response didn't match Dow's dreams. As sales slowed, a 1931 advertising brochure emphasized architectural diversity and how smaller homes would blend harmoniously with larger ones. Rather than attracting Detroit executives, buyers were coming from the rapidly growing local Ann Arbor/University of Michigan area.
